Examples

View User Details

Use mc admin user info to view detailed user information for a user on a MinIO deployment:

mc admin user info ALIAS USERNAME

Replace ALIAS with the alias of the MinIO deployment.
Replace USERNAME with the username of the user to display information for.

For the MinIO internal IDentity Provider (IDP), the output resembles the following:

AccessKey: miniouser
Status: enabled
PolicyName:
MemberOf: []
Authentication: builtin (miniouser)

For a third-party identity service such as LDAP, the output resembles the following:

AccessKey: uid=dillon,ou=people,ou=swengg,dc=min,dc=io
Status:
PolicyName: consoleAdmin
MemberOf: []
Authentication: ldap/localhost:1389 (uid=dillon,ou=people,ou=swengg,dc=min,dc=io)

View Policies from Group Membership

Use mc admin user info with --JSON to view the policies inherited from a user’s group memberships:

mc admin user info ALIAS USERNAME --JSON

Replace ALIAS with the alias of the MinIO deployment.
Replace USERNAME with the username of the user to display information for.

The memberOf property in the output contains a list of groups the user is a member of, with the policies attached to each group. The output resembles the following:

{
 "status": "success",
 "accessKey": "myuser",
 "userStatus": "enabled",
 "memberOf": [
  {
   "name": "testingGroup",
   "policies": [
    "testingGroupPolicy"
   ]
 "authentication": builtin (myuser)
  }
 ]
}

Behavior

S3 Compatibility

The mc commandline tool is built for compatibility with the AWS S3 API and is tested with MinIO and AWS S3 for expected functionality and behavior.

MinIO provides no guarantees for other S3-compatible services, as their S3 API implementation is unknown and therefore unsupported. While mc commands may work as documented, any such usage is at your own risk.
